Preparation:
Submerge the navy beans in water and soak overnight. The beans will have doubled in size. Thoroughly rinse the beans and pour in a (10 cup) Dutch over (with tight lid) or slow cooker. Ensure you leave enough room in your pot to add above ingredients. Add all above ingredients (except bacon) and cook on low heat (slow cooker ) or 300 °F (oven) for up to 10 hours or until the beans are tender. Stir occasionally and add liquid (chicken broth) if necessary to ensure that there is enough sauce. Add cooked , crispy bacon. Freeze in small portions and pair with eggs in the morning. You can substitute the RPA with either our Dark 266 or Auburn Ale. You can serve these delicious beans with steak, eggs or pulled pork. Enjoy!
